Best day ever!

Today was one of the most fun days we've had with our little family! We went to the Zoo! The babies are at such a fun age, so curious and eager to learn...they are little sponges that soak EVERYTHING up! They LOVE animals...their granddad is a DOC you know! If they can't say the name of an animal they know the sound it makes, needless to say we were quite entertaining to other guests at the zoo and they were too cute in their covered wagon! They didn't stay in it for long, they had a big time walking/running from animal to animal.



The first animals we saw were giraffes...Sara Beth looked way up and her little face lit up and then all of the sudden Mahlon spotted them and said WHOOOAAA!!! The rest of morning was filled with "roars"(that is what they think most animals say), "This?"(What's this?), and "hug" (Sara Beth wanted to hug all of the animals!!)



I wish I knew what little bit was talking to this bird about!?!
I am sure she was trying to convince him to come out of that cage and play with her...at least give her a hug!



If you like monkeys(and we do) the Jackson Zoo is full of them...all different species! These monkeys had fun showing off for us!! And Mahlon and Sara Beth had fun making monkey sounds..."ooo, ooo, ooo, ahh, ahh" SO CUTE!!



Daddy did lots of holding...you can see everything when you are 6'6"!
They loved the flamingos and tried to talk/squawk just like them! Sara Beth even tried to climb over the rocks to get to them! Could be because her favorite color is PINK!?!

We were quite impressed with our little Zoo! We'll be going back soon, we were so tired and hungry after looking at the animals we didn't have time to ride the train or carousel. Maybe next time!
